Sense of Responsibility of a Boy

One day a boy of class eight was going to school. Suddenly he saw a money bag

dropped by someone on the road. He was quite at a loss. He

waited there for more few minutes for the owner but no one came. Then he

decided to go home and discuss with his mother how to find out the

owner and refund the bag to him. Reaching home he told his mother about the

matter and his mother thanked him for his noble act and desire. But at first he

found no way to inform the probable owner about this. Because there was

nothing in the money bag with which the address of the owner could be found.

At last his mother gave him an excellent idea. She advised him to gve an

advertisement in the local newspaper to draw the attention of the owrier of

the money bag. In it, they told that he who could show proper evidence, would be

proved as the real owner and be given back his money bag. The advertisenent worked

well. The next day a middle aged gentleman came to their house and proved himself as

the real owner and got back his money bag. He thanked the boy and his mother a lot.

He wanted to give some of his lost money as a token of gratitude, But the boy

resfused it and told that the things he had done was nothing but his duty.
